Montreal Canadiens
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Montembault played 38 games for the league-worst Canadiens a season ago and his numbers -- 8-18-6 record, 3.77 GAA, .891 save percentage -- reflected that. Injuries to starter Carey Price and backup Jake Allen resulted in a much more significant role for Montembault than anyone initially expected. There's a real chance Price doesn't play at all this coming year due to a knee issue and Allen, the presumptive starter, hasn't been the picture of perfect health himself over the years, meaning we may again see more of Montembault than Montreal would prefer.

Sharp in Tuesday's win
GMontreal Canadiens
March 22, 2023
Montembeault stopped 31 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.
ANALYSIS
The Canadiens were out-shot 33-20 on the night, but Montembeault was able to steal a win with some big saves. The 26-year-old has seen action in five straight games as Jake Allen continues to struggle, and while his .905 save percentage over that stretch isn't exceptional, it's good enough to earn him consistent work over the final weeks of the season.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Montembeault had a 2019-20 to forget, posting a 5-5-1 record, a 3.34 GAA and an .890 save percentage in 14 NHL games. That poor performance allowed Chris Driedger to leap Montembeault on the depth chart, with the former now serving as Sergei Bobrovsky's primary backup. Montembeault is in an interesting position heading into 2020-21, as the Panthers brought in Scott Darling on a tryout. If Darling wins the taxi squad job, that would likely lead to Montembeault playing a starting role in the minor leagues, where he went 5-5-1 with a 3.00 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 11 games last year. Barring injuries to Bobrovsky or Driedger, fantasy managers can safely avoid Montembeault.
